SIM To Become a Storage Card, DRM Controller
OH GOD, are they high?!
*NOT ANOTHER flash memory format!!!*
Here's what they should have done: take the MiniSD standard, and cram SIM functionality into it. Done and done. No need to wait for larger formats (4GB MiniSD is almost here), no need to struggle to increase the capacity of this new Flash/SIM standard, plenty of manufacturers already cranking them out, etc.
